Just saying hello really! I'm 42 this week, and suffer from inflammatory arthritis as a result of ulcerative colitis. I have it mainly in my wrist and fingers, but sometimes also my ankle. It is fairly well under control at the moment [removed comma - Bryn Admin] and I feel positive going forwards, though it has taken a long time to get here!

Hello, it's nice to meet you and I hope you find the forum to be of interest. I began back in 1997 when I was 37 and it's been steadily downhill ever since I did not receive an accurate diagnosis until 2006 which had the impact of being pelted with marshmallows.

What meds are you taking? DD

Hi geeky. I was once in hospital next to a lady with ulcerative colitis and RA and, I must say, I felt that my RA and OA were easier things to deal with. I'm so glad you feel things are going a bit better for you now and I hope that continues
